Despite his birthplace from Sydney, Todd Wiltshire spent the majority of his youth in Newcastle. He began racing in 1979 with the Lake Macquarie Mini-Cycle Club, and he gave his cousin Fiona the credit of starting him into racing, as he said she was his primary source of inspiration due to her participation in racing on dirt tracks. Wiltshire has won numerous junior championships before winning the Australian 500cc championship during his debut year of senior racing in 1986.

Looking for a new challenge, Wiltshire decided to turn to Speedway in the latter half of 1986. He was crowned his first ACT Championship in both 1987 and 1988 at the Tralee Speedway in Australia’s capital city of Canberra and soon made himself one of Australia’s most talented young racers in Australia and finished 4th during the 1989 Australia Under-21 Championship held in Mildura. He took home his first major title for senior in the year 1990, winning his first New South Wales Championship at his own track, the Newcastle Motordrome, which had become the hub in Solo Racing in NSW after the closing of Liverpool City Raceway in 1989 and also with Sydney Showground Speedway Sydney Showground Speedway only holding two or three times every year. However, family obligations kept him from competing in an Australian Final at the Brisbane Exhibition Ground however his seeding was direct in the Commonwealth Final at the Belle Vue Stadium in Manchester, England where he placed a respectable 6th in order to make it to the Intercontinental Final. Wiltshire was 11th at Vojens at Denmark to become the sole Australian and final qualification to compete in this year’s World Final in Bradford.

Todd Wiltshire first made his mark on the international scene when he was a surprise qualifier for the 1990 Individual Speedway World Championship to be held at the Odsal Stadium in Bradford, England. Wiltshire had qualified for the final after finishing 6th in the Commonwealth Final, 2nd in the Overseas Final, and was the lucky last qualifier from the Intercontinental Final. He would surprise further by winning his first two races in the World Final before eventually finishing 3rd, only 1 point behind Reading teammate Per Jonsson who defeated Shawn Moran of the United States in a runoff after both finished on 13 points (Moran was later stripped of 2nd place after failing a drug test at the Overseas Final 3 months prior to the World Final). Despite Moran’s disqualification, the FIM did not upgrade placings and Wiltshire remains in 3rd place in the record books with no second place medal awarded.
